EPISODE 2
I got dressed in the attire got by my dad. I didn’t know when i started laughing at myself. Then i started crying. What a dressing!!!! This is just not me. At first, i wore the clothes with my boot. Jezzz, was much funnier than comedy. I just had to wear what i call PASTOR’S SHOE. Dad bought 3 of those. How i hate wearing them.
I gazed at the mirror, (shaking my head) what i saw was a total opposite of Cornell jnr. I had no choice. I stepped out of my gate. I never knew it could take 20 mins to lock the gate. I kept locking this gate, i just couldn’t move. I decided to wear my glasses and keep the WHO CARES KINDA FACE.
Now, bike passes every now and then but that morning, the word, “GOD SEARCHES THE INTENT OF MAN’S HEART” was playing outrightly. I felt God was saying to me, “you are ashamed of what you’re wearing? I will help you increase the shame” No empty bike passed. Meaning i have to walk down to the bustop. I kept going till i met the bombshell.
Just went i thought i have crossed the red sea without getting drowned, i met face to face with ATLANTIC OCEAN. I paused. “Shit” was the next word that dropped out of my mouth. My niggars, all of them, i mean all of them, from dotun to blazzare to onyem to nwa maley, all of them. They were playing football. I instantly needed an underground escape route. I looked up to heaven, i sensed God saying, “don’t you look up, i can’t help you”. I checked my time, in 20mins, opening prayer will take place. I just needed to cross this ATLANTIC OCEAN with swag. Then this idea came. Before i could raise my head………
“Oh boy, see junior o”.
That was what i heard. The next thing i saw was 10 heads turned into 1million heads starring at me. When i thought i could handle it, then came disaster.
These boys were laughing. They were laughing the kind of laugh that could just kill me. What i did? I just had to answer a phone call that had nobody behind it.
-hello, brother, yes yes yes. I’m on my way.(i bursted into meaningless laughter) hahahaha, brother, no now, not like that. Ok, ok, yea, yea, emmmm, 20 mins, 20 mins.
And i passed. (Deep breath )
I said to myself, junior, you are very stupid o but your stupidity help sha.
Bike finally came. Few minutes later, i was at the church.
I stepped in 5mins before church service took off. I couldn’t believe what i was hearing.
-wooow, junior, you look good
-omg, you’re cute bro.
-this is beautiful
Then i heard a bombshell from my dad’s assistant’s wife.
-Cornell son, please keep dressing like this. Wow, you look so handsome and cool like this.
I said…….
-Thank you ma
But i meant……
-stop that ma. Don’t even say that again please. (Eyeing her in my mind)
The way she turned was like she heard the one my mind said. I smiled that “caught in the act smile. She smiled back.
TIME FOR SUNDAY SCHOOL
i was really flowing honestly. At that point, i was enjoying what i was doing. My case study was the four hebrew boys. My points were like the book prophet Ezekiel in bible chewed. It was SWEET in my mouth, very sweet. It became ALEOVERAIC when it was time for the youths to ask questions. I started sweating from my shoes.
Question number 1…..
Sir, the topic says SET APART. And from all the passages we read, the bible youths were different from their peers. Sir, my question is, these days, why is it very very difficult, to identify a KINGDOM YOUTH. Why are youths of the house hold of christ no longer SET APART. We see them DRESS IRRESPONSIBLY even to church. They grow dreads, pierce their ear, sag, they desire to be like the other guys. Sir, please elaborate more on this issue.
I was still swallowing my saliva when the next question poped up.
Question number 2
-sir, the world has taken over the church and it has seriously affected the youths. They are even ashamed to boldly say they are bornagain. They are ashamed to identify among their God’s family . Sir, why is that? And what can be done to correct this error.
Now, i know i am melting because i just cannot answer that question because my answer will be disastrous.
Thank heavens, sister Nancy was there. She raised her hand and answered the question. The answer was a machine gun pointed directly to my face, by my own sister.
Her Answer……
Praise God. All these can only happen to someone who is being forced, or who is just an ordinary church goer, who has not encountered the HOLY SPIRIT . Empty vessels, vessels of wood.
Any youth who has had an encounter, personal encounter with God, will not find it difficult to do God’s will.
I just found out, i don’t fit in here. I am Cornell junior and not PASTOR CORNELL. I need to make it clear. Dad and i, have scores to settle.
